Chapter 6, Lusus naturae ("freak of nature")
Futur.Shock x inklingroom
Season 2, Strange Attractor, Volume 2
Lusus naturae ("freak of nature") is the concept that shapes a monstrous yet opulent nature's body and its potential of force. Chapter 6 is a collaboration with inklingroom and will explore the body and its entities' dark sides, manipulating time and space while establishing new spiritual mythologies. This futuristic and unconventional night is devoted to celebrating and moulding 'the other' through dance and sound, a delusion in the collective consciousness that might really exist only in the future.

Eve Stainton (performance)
Eve Stainton is an artist interested in the politics of uncodeable queer presence and its intersections with race and class. They create multi-disciplinary performance worlds that hold movement practices, digital collage, welded steel, and other invisible forces like waves/imagination/drama, often psychedelic and clashing. Stainton is interested in co-occurence as a way to unravel essentialist thinking, with the intent to create more expansive understandings of the lesbian identity, non-gender/variance, and perceptions of the ‘real’.
Notable presentations include: New commission ‘Dykegeist’ for ICA (2021), Tanz Quartier Wien, Vienna (AT), Le Guess Who, Utrecht (UT), Bergen Kunsthall (NO), My Wild Flag Stockholm (SE) Close Encounters, Copenhagen, (DE), Ridley Road Project Space group show (UK), Paradise Row Projects group show (UK), Venice Biennale performance programme with Florence Peake (2019), Block Universe (UK), The Place (UK), Nottingham Contemporary (UK), Crac Occitanie (FR), Sadler’s Wells Lilian Baylis (UK).

Rubby Garage Geist// Blend for club
Interested in how things come together without the need for coherence, Eve will borrow and open out short scenes from their previous performances and place them amongst some fresh research. Left to clash and co-occur.
Hollie Miller (performance)
Hollie Miller is a visual artist with an interdisciplinary practice using her body as her primary medium to inquire into embodiment.

@hollie___miller
Stiletto Silhouette is a dancing surrealist sculpture that playfully explores gravity and the body’s form through mind bending positions. This feminist piece challenges Hans Bellmer’s fetishistic doll sculptures and kinkster fantasies around bondage and restriction through the seductive prowess of stilettos and spandex to an electronic sound score composed of smashing plates, purring cats and distorted techno.
Pre-recorded music by Craig Scott.
Yraki
Yraki is the brainchild of UK-based artist, electronic musician and researcher Mariano Sibilia. Its existence is the manifestation of the inner workings of Sibilia’s mind interacting with the sensations of the outer world propelled into form via synaesthesia. His multi-faceted works span from idiosyncratic sound design for cinematic productions to a broad spectrum of experimental club music.

About the show //
Yraki live - Freak of Nature (lusus naturae) is a debut live show of London-based Italian composer Yraki with live performance by Estonian choreographer Keity Pook.
From sounds inspired by artists' synesthesia and surrendering to an 'other', the experimental composer explores sonic hybrids recalling electronic abstractions and contemporary club music mutations. Taking his explorations of melody, deconstructed beats and allowed his response to being automatic and instinctive, led by an unknown entity. His visualisation of sounds, seeing bodies move as asymmetrical shapes and liquid, means the process leads to a visceral experience which borders on the surreal, with both musician and choreographer exploring the kinetic capabilities of this mystical entity. Yet, the choreography interacts not only with the sonic landscape but also embodies ancient amphibian times' nordic soul beast creature.
